Summary

A depressed town in the middle of nowhere. A cowed sixteen-year-old struggling to fit in at a new school. A plan for violent retribution against those who have made his life a misery.

But before Grover Tench can follow through with his vengeful intentions, his world is thrown into disarray thanks to a chance encounter with Kevin Zhu – private school kid, borderline genius, and unlike anyone he has ever met. Kevin favors creativity over carnage, brainpower over bloodshed, and he convinces Grover there might be a better way.

Together the two teenage outcasts will devise a strategy to fight back against their oppressors in a way that will have the whole world talking. They soon discover that with a little bit of ambition and a lot of ingenuity, there are no limits to what they can accomplish.

But can they really get away with something so audacious? Or are they in way over their heads?

    A BRAND-NEW MYSTERY FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR SET IN THE BEAUTIFUL WELSH COUNTRYSIDE. 
     
    Six passengers in a locked train carriage. One of them is dead. No one saw a thing. 
     
    Former Detective Hillary Greene is off on holiday. For a blissful two weeks, her life will be free of murder victims, murder suspects — and, best of all, no paperwork. She’s heading for the beautiful Welsh town of Hay-on-Wye, where she plans to spend her time browsing old bookshops and generally relaxing. 
     
    Hillary arrives at the picturesque Riverside Inn where the other guests are an eclectic bunch: a charming Irishman, a rich American and his spoilt daughter, a thrice-married Canadian influencer, a wealthy widow and a taciturn taxidermist. 
     
    The next day, Hillary and her fellow guests set off on a steam train ride through the stunning Cambrian Mountains. But when the train arrives at its final destination, not all the passengers get off. 
     
    One of them has been stabbed neatly and cleanly through the heart. 
     
    Which of the five passengers who shared the carriage is the killer? And how come no one saw a thing . . . ?
